A CMS Education

From Toddlers through Middle School, Cambridge Montessori School provides curricula and classrooms that balance both academic and social development. Classrooms are carefully prepared environments that capture children's curiosity and foster their natural love of learning.

Passport Programs

The Passport program at CMS encompasses all auxiliary programs that occur outside of the academic day. Our program provides opporuntunities which introduce children to unique experiences in creative arts, music, sports, STEAM, and more.

Support CMS

It is through the generosity of individuals who give that we are able to provide an exceptional education to all of our students. Like most independent schools, tuition revenue does not cover the entire cost of a CMS education.

Welcome to Admissions

Welcome to CMS!

Thank you for your interest in Cambridge Montessori School! We look forward to welcoming you to one of our admissions events to learn more about our school and the magic of Montessori.

Since its founding in 1963

Cambridge Montessori School has grown and evolved from a modest one-room schoolhouse to a prestigious institution spread over three campuses surrounding one of the most beautiful parks in Cambridge.

Over the Years

Over the years, we have remained committed to providing children with an enriching and authentic Montessori education that extends beyond our school walls, through partnerships with local organizations and a conscious immersion in community life.

Our dedicated teachers are fully accredited Montessorians who nurture, follow, and respect each child's spirit as a means to unlock their full potential. We believe in providing an environment that fosters independence, and where children learn in a setting that balances freedom and structure.

Our admission process is created to give you a clear sense of our program and to give us the opportunity to get to know your family. We seek a diverse group of children and families who are interested in a Montessori education. We hope you will visit our campus to learn more about our individualized approach to teaching and learning.
